To wax or not to wax with psoriasis?

[Fred]

This may seem a bit crazy but bare with me.
I recently had a blood test done and the phlebotomist commented on my skin (nothing unusual there) So I started doing my normal ramblings. Such as 'Oh I know. Don't it look 'orrible' etc (Sorry about the wording but I am from Essex)
But then she told me about her friend who had psoriasis who she said used a waxing strip on a small spot of skin and that it made it much better.
Now i'm willing to try most things in order to make it look better so I gave it a try.
I'm not saying it's a miracle cure or anything and wouldn't recommend it as a regular treatment but it did actually help. Probably because I was just ripping off all the dead skin and so it looked a bit smoother...

Anyway, just thought I'd share that with you but please don't go injuring yourselves! And please don't ban me either!!!  

We won't ban you.  

We don't care about your wording, or where you come from.

All I will say is be careful as you are damaging the natural healing process of your skin, yes it will make it feel better a bit like scratching it does but you could actually be making it spread more as you are injuring the skin.

Having said that I have heard so many things from different people, and if it's working then what the hell.
